WILLIAM JOSEPH BISSONNET, OF HOUSTON, '.IF'XAS.

QXL-BURNER.

Application filed January l5, 1908.

To all whom it vm (0,1/ concer/n.'

Be it known that LV1/ruimt Josnrri BissoNNn'r, a citizen of the YU ritod States, residing at 1 1 14 Manifv street, flouston, in the countv of l'iarris andSt ate of'l`e.\;as, have invented certain new and useful lnn'frovenrents in Oil-Burners, of which the following a s) )ecili c ation This invention relates to burners and more 'particularlyv to crude petroleum or alcohol burners, and has for an. object to provide means for superb! n l 1 before discharging the saine to our ner vx"oper and thus cause a more perfect Combustion to secure a maximum amount of heat.

Other obects and advantages will be a ii t C r parent from the following description and it will be understood that changes in the speci'ic structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification and in which like characters of reference indicate similar' parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a side elevational view of tne present burner, Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the same, Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view on the line of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is a tr'ansverse sectional view on the line 4 -4 of 2, Fig. 5 is a transverse sectional view on the line of Fig. 2, Fig. o is a perspective view of the air supply pipe showing its connection with the superheatin coil, Fig. 7 is a ver'tical longitudinal sectional view through a locomotive boiler' showing the application of the present burner thereto.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a bur'ner comprising a union 11, and a mixing chamber' 12, ending in the tip 14, having the centrally disposed discharge opening 15. The chamber' 12 is enlarged or outwardly flared at its r'ear end or base, as shown at 13, and is provided upon its top or upper side with an oil inlet pipe 16,- receiving its supply from a suitable source not shown. The rear end of the casing is provided with a plurality of secur'ing ears 17 arranged to register with similar' ears 1S formed at the inner' end of the union 11.

The union 11 is provided with a lower' air inlet passage 19, and above this passage the union 11 is provided with a nozzle 23, cornprising the projecting ledge-forming bottom 20, the top 22, and the sides 5, 5, projecting beyond the top 22 and being continued and Specification or Letters Patent.

Serial No. 51,008.

1, contacting with the top of the mixing charnl ber 12, as shown in Fig. 2. This nozzle, as shown in Fig. 4, is of a width less than said. mixing chamber 12. The bottom 2() is spaced from the lower wall ot this mixing chamber', as shown.

Located above the passage 19 and formed lin the union 11, is a steam inlet passage 21, 1 which empties into the nozzle, as shown.

The top 22, is somewhat shorter' than the bottom 2t), and is obliquelv positioned rela tive to the bottom 20. The nozzle 223 is reduced at its forward end s shown in Fig. 2. .l'leld between the projecting sides 5, 5, and curving over the top 22, is the curved. plate 25, and this plate is arranged in spaced rela-- tion to the upper wall of the mixing ehambei' 12, as shown. The downwardly curved portion 25 is extended below the top 22 and is slightl)T spaced at its lower' end from the bottom 20 to provide the exhaust slot 24, as shown.

ln Fig. 7 of the drawings, there is shown a locomotive boiler' A. provided with the usual 'lire box B, and at the forward end the boiler is provided with a smoke box C. rlfhe burner' is disposed within the fire box of the locomotive with its discharge opening extending inwardlv of the lire box, as shown. The air inlet passage 19 is arranged to re- 5 ceive an air pipe 265/, and this air suppl'v pipe l is extended. forwardlyT beneath the boiler' A, and at the front end is connected to a superheating pipe coil 27 located within the smoke box O. The end of the coil is arranged to receive an intake funnel 2S, as shown, the air pipe entering the mixing chamber at a point opposite and below said discharge opening.

In operation, the oil enters the pipe 16 and is delivered upon the plate 25, from which it drains upon the ledge formed by the bottom 20. In. effect, the projecting end of the bottom 20, curved plate 25, and the sides 5, form an oil chamber'. is admitted into the passage 21 and is delivered to the nozzle 23 and is forced out of this chamber through the orifice or slot 24C As the steam is forced through this orifice, the oil upon the ledge 2O is combined therewith completely atomizing and gasifying it while passing through the nozzle 12. T he air enters the funnel 2S and flows through the coil 27 in the smoke boX C where it is super'- heated to a very high temperature, and continues through the pipe 26 and enter's the passage 1.9, and escapes into the nozzle. In

Steam under pressure my invention, the air andmoilvliifstmix upon the plate 25, befobe-ilnlg forced through the nozzle bythe-escaping steam.

It will of course be understood that denatured alcohol may be used in a burner of the above description with beneficial results.

The nozzle 23, is of a width less than the width of the mixing chamber as shown, so as to provide a heating space below and upon the sides of this portion of the union within. the chamber.

Having` thus described my said invention, what l claim as new and desire to secure by United. States Letters Patent is 1. In a device of the character described, the combination. with a mixingl chamber h aving a discharge opening, of an oil supply pipe entering said chamber from above, an air supply pipe entering said chamber below said oil supply pipe, a nozzle entering said chamber between said air and oil pipes, having a curved drainprlate, said oil supply pipe emptying uproid said drain plate, said nozzle having its bottom projecting beyond said drain plate, and a steam supply pipe entering said nozzle.

` ending roxima-l to the ledge forming-portion ol said ottom to provide an exhaust slot, a steam supply connecting with said nozzle, and an oil supply pipe entering said mixing chamber and emptying upon said drain plate, said projecting sides, drain plate` and projecting bottom, forming an ilvchamber, all arranged as shown.

In testimony whereof l affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
